Intestinal Leiomyoma: Asymptomatic with Clear Diagnosis and No Obstruction or Bleeding
Clinical Scenario
This protocol addresses patients with an intestinal leiomyoma that is fully asymptomatic — no obstruction, no bleeding — and for whom the diagnosis has been clearly established.
Recommended Approach
In this scenario, current evidence-based guidance does not call for active treatment or routine follow-up. The complete protocol specifies what is — and is not — recommended when this presentation is confirmed.
